Luna angrily shut down the communication screen, while pouting her lips out in anger and frustration. "Hey, everyone will work harder, double shifts from now onward, if not a single ore appeared today, I won't give you any time to rest!" she shouted at her workers, venting all what she was feeling right now over their heads!

The rise of the new monsters all over the empire caused quite a stir indeed. Many troubles erupted, especially at those who had small garrisons to control the monsters.

This mess continued for a week, as many places asked for aid and reinforcements. If not for the new policy of using troops and cruisers, Islinda would have her hands tied behind her back, unable to help all these cry for help distress signals.

As such, James suggested to come back with Dora's fleet, after all they had already conquered every small kingdom here, secured the monsters' invasion, and also amassed not a small number of soldiers and cruisers from these kingdoms.

Each kingdom gave them a small number of soldiers and cruisers, but considering the huge number of these, the small fleet Dora had turned now into a huge one, with cruisers exceeding thousands, and fighters reaching millions.

However, Islinda wasn't in a dark situation yet to ask for them back. Despite she wanted to meet James, check on him, she knew this might endanger the entire expeditions, especially when the frontlines had severe resistance currently, and gaining any kingdom was done on expense of great sacrifices of everyone.

James stayed for one more week back, but suddenly he received news that made him issue the instant retreat order; Luna had finally found the godly ore, and it was a huge mine that would satisfy all his needs.

"Send a word to Rigo, we are going back home. Make him wait there and continue moving forward, and I will send reinforcements for him from our current huge fleet," he said to Dora, while having a very wide grin over his face.

"Good news from home?" she asked, as during the past days she completely ignored him at night, only meeting him here in the commanding deck, in public.

James knew how she was feeling, and he just sympathized with her, but he was also feeling emptiness after her staying away from him. part of his desire to offer Islinda help at first was to return home and have more fun with Luna and Islinda.

And now he had more reasons to go back, especially when they were doing literally nothing here. Dora sent the message to Rigo, while arranging part of the grand fleet to stay back, led by one of Rigo's droids, while sending another part to Rigo to replenish the losses he suffered so far.

As for the rest of the fleet, which was now even triple the size of her initial fleet, returned home at the highest speed.

They took another week to reach home, and Arthur kept checking daily on the progress of extracting the ores from the mine Luna found, while stressing over Islinda to strengthen the security there.

These hidden moves had alerted many forces there, but due to the tight security enforced by Islinda, not a single word was leaked to anyone, making their curiosity grow even bigger.

Even the seven forces sniffed it, as they asked Rigo for more details about it, asking if this was another treasure in the rich empire of James, they were ready to pay the suitable price for it.

When Rigo relayed the message to James, he didn't hurry to refuse them. After all he needed the ores to repair his scepter. He didn't know if he would need the ores later on, or not.

So, he told Rigo to stall them, evade answering their questions, and make them all wait until he had the picture cleared for him.

Rigo did as he was told, and his attitude deepened the feeling of doubts for the leaders. They were sure James had laid his hands over a new treasure, so precious that he wasn't ready yet to share it.

If diplomacy failed, then their girls would act again, in a try to get the answers to them.

So, they sent the girls towards Arthur's home planet, under the excuse that they belonged to him, and they should stay where their man was.

Rigo wasn't stupid, but he got the confirmation from his leader regarding this point; Arthur needed to play for a little after dealing with his broken scepter issue.

When he reached the planet, finally, he was astonished to see the huge number of cruisers coming and leaving it; it was turning fast into a real prosperous capital of a mighty empire!

"Let's go directly to the planet of Luna, and let the fleet here report to Islinda, letting her do whatever she wants," he hurriedly asked Dora as he was really impatient to wait for any more.

Islinda received the news, and despite knowing his urge towards the godly ore, she had this bitterness in her, as he came after all this long absence, didn't care to even glance at her, or even give her a hug, or a kiss, or a good passionate sleep.

As for James, he was really focused on one thing, and nothing else; the godly ore and fixing his own scepter.

The planet Luna had found the godly ore at wasn't near the capital planet, making James realize how hard Luna worked to find the ore.

The planet wasn't inhabited one, as it was dark, icy, and empty of anything but rocks. On the surface of it, there was a huge stretch of buildings, newly established here, surrounding nearly one third of this huge planet.

As outside it, large numbers of cruisers, large, intermediate, and small ones were stationed here, while huge numbers of fighters kept patrolling the space outside.

A needle couldn't bypass this tight security without being detected. "Good work, Islinda," he commended in content, as like this no news would be leaked unless he intended to.

And he didn't intend to publicity announce this to the whole world, as he planned to turn this godly ore into the highest quality product of his empire; being a friend and ally would grant you an access to this, being an enemy would deprive you from even sniffing a mere scent of it.

"Take us down there," he ordered, as he was very eager to see this ore.

Dora already spread the news of his coming to Luna, as well Islinda did the same. Luna was really ecstatic, feeling this was a great victory for her over the other girls, as she was currently the first to visit, not Islinda, even if this was only for the ore, she was the one who suggested this project, and the one who saw it happen to the end.

She stood inside the main installment on the planet, where she waited for James to appear. In less than ten minutes, the huge noise of the large cruiser of Dora appeared nearby, announcing his arrival.

"Come with me," James said, as he literally jumped off the deck, and went directly towards the goods bay, where it was connected by a sealed way with the installment of Luna.

Dora just followed his suit, while the distant memories of that scary scepter were refreshed in her mind, making her doubtful if she wanted to experience such threatening moments again or not.

However, when she reached the installment with James, found Luna standing there in a semi-transparent dress, revealing many parts of her body, arousing even the envy of her.

She simply glanced at James, to find a wide and wild smile over his face, cursing Luna inwardly, just hoping James would turn into a dragon, and kill her!

However, Luna just ran towards James, moving her body in a professionally intentional way to arouse his desire even more, and he initially didn't need all this to be aroused, he was already on the verge of fixing her on the ground, and started tasting all of her sweetest desserts.

But he controlled, with great difficulty, his desires, only holding her sweet and strangely soft body in his arms, while giving her a long and fiery kiss, before moving away as he promised:

"You will have your own rewards later on, now where is my reward?"

She giggled, while looking directly towards Dora, as if she was teasing her, in public, while saying:

"This way, my love, I have prepared the finest only for you," she said, while gracefully descending from his arms, one leg at a time, taking all her time in doing that, while revealing her smooth soft sweet skin of her in the process, making James much more anxious, more determined to punish her in his own way, to properly educate her on this torturing treatment for him.

"Lead the way then," he spoke while hardly controlling himself off her, not able to control his fingers, which started to feel the full sweet hills of her explosive body.
